Saturday Walking Tours set for June

Local residents and tourists are invited to take part in the June Saturday Walking Tours being offered in more than 30 cities across the state. The tours will place at 10 a.m. on June 7, 14, 21, and 28. These free guided walking tours are designed to take about one hour to complete. Different community leaders will lead the walks through the historic districts or courthouse square areas of their hometowns, sharing their own personal remembrances and even some local “tall tales.”

“Alabama is the only state in the nation to hold statewide, simultaneous walking tours,” said Brian Jones with the Alabama Tourism Department. “This is the sixth year the Saturday Walking Tours have been conducted across the state and they keep increasing in popularity every year. We have done more than 750 tours over the course of the program.” Jones said.
